Well, the deadline for sending in your garden/graveyard/windowsill/duck photos has come and gone, and I'm surprised to have received entries from as many as six Bloggerati (thank you all). I am not surprised that dear Savvy's entry wasn't amongst them...
Anyway, you still have time to get your photos in if you want to take part (into the first week of November, if absolutely required), but please note: if you have a Terrifying Triffidery photo, you MUST email it to me by midday tomorrow UK time. That's anywhere between 5am on the US west coast to 8am on the East, I think? And 1pm in Franconia... (The expected Australian entry is in, but if there are any more you'll have to work the time out yourselves as your country spans too many time zones for me to be arsed to list).

Everyone is welcome - even newcomers, friends-of-friends, lurkers, Lady Goldberg-DeWoofs etc. - so if you'd like to take part, please do! This blog's gmail address can be found in my profile up there on the Sideboard to the right. If you have any questions, please ask away in the comments.
Hope to see you and your I N F O M A N I A C Garden Photos Event snaps soon!
That's a very fancy Hemerocallis - I assume the chicken wire is to prevent Bitey from destroying it? Jx
ReplyDeleteFortunately, Bitey seems indifferent to Hemerocallis. Muntjac on the other hand...
DeleteYay, I made the deadline in time! I wasn't sure I would.
ReplyDeleteThe US times are the other way around. Remember the sun rises in the East. So, it's 8am Eastern/7am Central/8am Pacific. If the poles flip, then us Northerners would become tropical (and a bit dizzy I should think) and the sun will rise in the West as we once knew it. (Fascinating! https://www.inverse.com/science/earth-magnetic-field-flip-chaos)
Yep, you made it with time to spare :D
DeleteAs for the time zones, my watch had stopped!
Oops! That was supposed to be 9am Pacific.
DeleteAh, not to worry. My head can't cope with geography AND time travel at the same time anyway!
DeleteI just emailed mine handsome, but I think to your other email. If you get time lets meet in the garden for a quickie!?! Before the crowds get here.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear. Splurge all over the garden. Again... Jx
DeleteYes, that sticky white sap gets everywhere!
DeleteOh crap - you got my entry, right? It was a whole post over at my blog! Oh well, got it or not, I am super looking forward to finding out if Jon won yet!
ReplyDeleteOh crap, indeed! I missed your nasturtiums/potato/ficus/spiderplant post - Gah! Your mansion-dwelling spiderplant is AMAZING!!! (It was that post, wasn't it? Between the Oort cloud and the sandwich for teenagers?)
DeleteHowever, I'm sure I can rustle up a GPE post for you ;)
Forgive me for not sending a photo. I DO, however, look forward to everyone's entries.
ReplyDeleteNo duck?!?
